Chapter 1: Gloomy but Sunny

It was a gloomy day of June and Kagome prepared some hot tea in Kaede's hut as everyone sat around the fire pit. It was unusual for a cold gloomy day in the summer time, especially the hottest month of the year. Kagome poured cups of tea for everyone. Miroku was sipping his tea slowly inhaling the steam from the hot liquid in his palm. Sango, the woman sat her tea down beside her to let it cool down as she brushed the soft fur from the feline Kirara. Shippo laid on the hard floor resting for a long day that would never be exciting in any way, so Kagome put his cup aside. Inuyasha gulped down the hot tea as if it wasn't even hot, his taste buds had no effect on the heat. Kagome and Kaede were sipping their tea slowly as if there were no hurry, and that's just how it was.

"Dammit all! You guys are nothing but slackers. We could be out searching for the jewels. It ain't that cold!" Inuyasha yelled as he stood up. The silence drove him crazy when it came to his friends.

Kagome set her tea down beside her. "Oh Inuyasha don't be so grumpy. It will probable clear up tomorrow," she made her statement and became silent again.

"Yes Inuyasha, listen to Lady Kagome, You do have to habit to be grumpy when it's gloomy out," Miroku added after Kagome ended.

Sango picked up her tea and took a sip. "Miroku does have a point, Inuyasha," She said back.

"Oh shut the hell up," The hanyou grunted and plopped back on the floor.

Kagome sat up when she finished her tea. She slipped on her brown school shoes and rested her yellow backpack on her shoulders. Inuyasha looked up at her in curiosity and said, "and where do you think your going?" he asked annoyingly.

She tuned around to look at the silver haired hanyou." I'm going home for a while. I have things to do and I'll be back tomorrow, I promise," she answered his question and waited for him to yell at her.

"Fine, do whatever you want," he groaned and laid down on his side to face the all.

Kagome smiled and headed out the door to leave to her own time. The time where she grew up to, the time she was familiar to since she was just an infant.

Sango and Miroku both turned their head to stair at him in amazement. "Wow Inuyasha, you let her go off easy," Miroku said it before Sango could.

"Yeah well, it's not like we're going anywhere anyhow," he snorted and began to tap his claws against the hard floor.

Sango leaned over and whispered in Miroku's ear, "I guess with Kagome here it wasn't so gloomy, well it looks like it if you look at him," She nodded her head towards Inuyasha with his ears down like and angry cat. Sango and Miroku chuckled at the thought that Kagome was his sunshine.
